WG Siding & Roofing Inc.: Architectural Asphalt Shingles for PA Homes
Roof shingles are a fundamental part of a residential roofing system. They typically consist of asphalt, a fiberglass mat, and ceramic-coated granules. They are installed in overlapping layers to shield your home from water infiltration. Architectural asphalt shingles can be uniform in shape or more irregular to resemble handcrafted designs. Common materials include slate, wood, metal, clay, and asphalt.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
- Three-Tab: This classic, single-layer version is cut into three sections, offering a flat, consistent appearance and being the most cost-effective option.
- Architectural Asphalt Shingles: Also called dimensional shingles, architectural asphalt shingles are made from multiple asphalt-coated fiberglass layers, providing a varied, three-dimensional look. GAF Timberline® HDZ™ architectural asphalt shingles enhance durability and qualify for the WindProven™ limited wind warranty with specific GAF accessories.
- Designer: Luxury shingles that mimic cedar, slate, or wood shake, adding a sophisticated touch with diverse colors and textures.
Other Roof Materials
- Clay and Concrete: Heavy materials ideal for Spanish-style homes requiring structural support.
- Wood: Cedar or redwood offer a natural look but must meet fire rating requirements.
- Slate: Elegant and durable but heavy and costly, requiring a strong home structure.
